I can remember seeing these being rolled down the sidewalks on 7th Ave. full of clothing. Usually a guy in front steering and a guy in back pushing. They were going from factory to warehouse, or sometimes from factory straight over to the stores on 5th Ave. Another day…

A strong image to be sure and also be default a commentary on the state of the garment industry in New York. I feel like in a way I am look at a ghost, skeleton, labyrinth and a cage. Hauntingly beautiful.

I used to be a production coordinator in the garment district when I first started my career in “fashion” and I used to always dodge those carts to save my toes from being run over while running back and forth from factory to design studios.

If you stand at the corner of 38th and 8th Ave, you’ll still see a good amount of the fabric carts :)

I remember working as a display stylist (window dresser) and we rigged up a cart like this to transport mannequins from A to B. Only issue was that sometimes our Amazonian mannequins on our cart were to tall to fit in the elevator! Beautifully shot, what a great piece of art!

You gave my work a strong standing point… I m drawing pics with lines playing around elements and always been thinking of them like you wrote in the words about your photo. I was wondering about a book but wasn´t sure if anyone would see them as I do- a place for daydreaming and rest for eyes and mind. Thank you again for this post as it was good eyeopener and “opened” also a new door for me … The copy will come your way if it is done :D
